TFC Toys Prometheus (Verti-Aid, Red Cross, Warning Line, Hydrant, Gumball, Prometheus) (AKA Generation One Protectobots Blades, First Aid, Groove, Hot Spot, Streetwise, Defensor)

Verti-Aid AKA Blades

Vehicle Mode: Blades looks amazing in helicopter mode. His paintjob is awesome. I love the paint apps on his rotor blades. The blue tinted windows look great. The overall design of the copter is excellent.

Robot Mode: Blades looks great in robot mode. He has lots of painted and molded details. I like his head sculpt.

Red Cross AKA First Aid

Vehicle Mode: First Aid looks great in ambulance mode. I appreciate that it says Ambulance in reverse. Paint apps are perfect. I love the silver hubcaps.

Robot Mode: First Aid looks amazing in robot mode. I love his head sculpt. He has so much detail. I love the medical crosses on his shoulders.

Warning Line AKA Groove

Vehicle Mode: Groove’s vehicle mode is pretty awesome, though not exactly a motorcycle. I mean it kind of is, but it has four wheels. Very cool though. The silver and metallic paint looks great.

Robot Mode: In robot mode Groove looks great. He has an excellent head sculpt. Not sure what is with the circle with the triangle inside on his chest. Seems like some kind of logo, but I don’t think any of the others have it.

Hydrant AKA Hot Spot

Vehicle Mode: Hot Spot is enormous in vehicle mode, and he looks fantastic. He’s got so much molded detail, and I love the silver paint apps. His water cannon looks great.

Robot Mode: Hot Sport mostly looks great in root mode, but I don’t love the enormous shoulders. His head sculpt looks great. His gun is awesome.

Gumball AKA Streetwise

Vehicle Mode: In vehicle Streetwise could have used a few more paint apps. I like the design overall though. His guns look great.

Robot Mode: In robot mode he has the windshield as his chest like the G1 toy. Head sculpt looks great.

Prometheus AKA Defensor

Defensor looks great in robot mode. His colors are perfect, head sculpt is great. Groove Looks even less like a motorcycle in this mode, but he looks fine.

Overall: This is a great set, but there are better, newer third party Defensors out there.

Thanks for reading!
